What sensors are supported
Heart Rate monitors #
STAmina supports generic Bluetooth Low Energy heart-rate monitors that follow the Bluetooth Heart Rate specification. Most stand-alone chest straps and arm bands work without any issues. We have tested:
AirPods Pro (iPhone) #
On iPhone, AirPods Pro with heart-rate sensing can be used as a heart-rate monitor during exercises. Turn on AirPods Pro heart rate in the app settings.
Pulse oximeters #
STAmina supports generic Bluetooth Low Energy pulse oximeters that follow the Bluetooth specification, and some specific models from other vendors. Unlike heart-rate monitors, most pulse oximeters use their own proprietary protocol, so if your device isn’t listed there is a good chance it won’t work with STAmina. You can check your device before buying a new one.
Tested by us:
- Medisana PM 100 connect. This device needs to be switched into real-time mode: press and hold the green button until a menu appears. See the device’s documentation for details.
- Jumper JPD-500G (with Bluetooth), Jumper JPD-500F
- Masimo MightySat
- Wellue PC-60FW
- Wellue FS20F
- Berry BM1000B
- Berace YWK-J1
- LPOW A340B (Bluetooth)
Confirmed by our users (not tested by us):
Non-compatible devices #
Avoid pulse oximeters with an on-device memory feature: they either use complex protocols or don’t stream data in real time. We could not put these into real-time mode:
- Emay EMO-90
- Beurer PO60
- SilverCrest SPO 55
Smartwatches #
Smartwatches work with STAmina through watch apps:
- Apple Watch app (standalone): run the tables from the phone app directly on your watch.
- Garmin companion app: use your Garmin watch as a heart-rate sensor while you train with the phone app.
Watches don’t provide oxygen saturation in real time, only heart rate: see why there’s no real-time SpO₂ from watches. For live SpO₂, use a pulse oximeter from the list above.
Device not listed? #
If you have a Bluetooth LE device that broadcasts heart rate or SpO₂ and doesn’t work with STAmina, check it and send us the results, or request support for it on our feedback board.
